Hotchkiss School
Johnson should interest a junior club looking for a tracking-based prospect with movement power. His prep performance supports an opportunity to test those tools against older players, with the ceiling tied to how well he preserves them under sustained pressure.
Quick adjustments help him address a changing lane; stronger pushes provide additional range. His continued visual attention after the puck makes contact is especially relevant when a rebound requires him to rebuild his position before another attempt.
The attraction is a connected movement-and-tracking profile supported by a strong completed prep season and scouting interest. His placement remains a projection because the same combination has not yet been established across a full junior workload.
The first junior evaluation should concentrate on traffic and rebound possessions. A staff needs to see whether he identifies the next puck quickly enough to use his movement power without arriving beyond the lane or losing his save balance.
His 2025–26 record with Hotchkiss School lists 26 appearances, with a 1.63 goals-against average and a .944 save percentage.
